You have a constitutional right to an attorney, you can ask the Judge for time to hire a DUI attorney, they have to give you the opportunity to interview and hire counsel, OR, if you are indigent they will appoint a government defense attorney to help you with your case. You may have defenses that reduce the charges or result in a dismissal, an attorney can definitely help you.

Do I have a good case for pleading not guilty since I was not operating my car and was a half mile away when arrested?

We plead not guilty for pretty much everyone. After all, worst thing you can get is a DUI. So, sure, you have good cause to plead not guilty - especially if you were drinking after you left the car. Pleading guilty does not mean you will be found not guilty. Most people who plead not guilty eventually plead guilty to something. If you told the cop you were the driver and had not been drinking since you got out of the vehicle - well, the Police have a good case against you because in California there is no need for a "wheel witness" and the courts will look at the totality of the circumstances in determining your guilt.
